A Curious Weapon. .
There is in the possession of John Ende,
harness-maker, Clinton street, Buffalo,
one of the mo.-t ancient relics owned in
the city. It is an antique, two-edged
sword, made in LWo, 1,'T years before the
discovery ot America. The weapon is
at tout two and one-half feet Ion?," and ex
ceedingly well preserved.'- Thi blade
tapers oil" to a sharp point, and consists of
a thick piece of well-tempered steel, about
an inch and a half broad at its widest
part. Several devices and figures have
been cut into it, and they are "nearly ob
scurtd by 1 he stain of rust. The date,
however, is very distinct, Iteingcut in
deep on both sides of the blade. The
hilt is entirely of metal, and strengthened
by coils of copper wound tightly around
it. The hand is protected hyit simple iron
cross piece. That the sword is geuuine is
proved not only by its appearance but by
its history. It originally belonged to
Baron von Liechtenstein, a rich landed
proprietor in Saxony, and was given to
one of the ancestors of its present owner
as a pledge of a patent right to sell salt
among trie Baron's tenants. It has been in
his family for several generations, com
ing down from sou to son with the, privi
lege whic h its possession c onf erred. When
Mr. Undo left his native country for
America he took the sword along with
him, and still retains it.

as investigation by his physician 'proved,
by putrid water from the tank on the roof
of his house. A heavy deposit of "the"
green, vegetable slime which so rapidly
accumulates in all of these tsnks was
found in this case. The gentleman's doc
tor informed him that he had previously
attended several cases , of typhoid fever
produced in the. same way.' "Doctors have
several times warned householders of the
danger to health from vegetable putre-'
cence in water-tanks. These tanks, are
frequently not cleaned out for years, and
are then found t? be lined on the sides and
covered on the top with a heavy coating
of green scum, which is nearly as poison
ous and injurious to the quality of the
water as the discharge into it of the leak
age from a water-closet would lie. All of

classes! -They were unable to point out
any objectionable features ia the instru
ment which could not be as well altered by
the Legislature. The truth was that they
desired to have a Constitution made after
the old.puitcrn by the old. kind of politi
cians one in which' the prople would be
consulted as little as possible and the
broken-down aristocra's as much . as
possible. Afler much effort these
malcontents dragooned the . Legisla
ture into passing a bill calling a
convention. Lvcn then they would not
trust the people. They did not submit the
question "for a convention or against a
convention" to the voters. They, voted
themselves that thorc should be a conven
tion whether , or no'., K they could they,
would have elected its members also.
This, however, they had to leave to the
people. So that no matter how much op
nosed to a change in the organic law a
voter mav have been he could not express
it by his ballot. He could simply vote
for a candidate. To meet this dillicnlty
the Kepublkan Central Committee called
a meeting of prominent Bepublicans to
consult and adopt a policy of resistance.

people lor the Bcpublieau candidates, who

ana at tne level oi mescnoiars neaus was
noted, as was also the Tcoudition of the air
as perceived through the sense of smell.
In considering the vith.lion which the
air of a school room undergoes, we must
take into account not only the exhalations
through the lungs of the children ot car
ttouic acid gas, which, by general accepta
tion, becomes hurtful as soon as it exceeds
the proportion ot six or seven volumes in
10,000 ot pure air; there is afso a ciouu oi
fine dust floating everywhere in the atmos
phere, which reveals itself when a ray of
light is admitted into a dark room, and is
descriftecl as consisting of " the detritus of
every imaginable thing used in our social
economy! clothing; food, 'org:uiic emana
tions from our bodies and those of the
lower animals," shoe-leather, mineral parti
cles, raised., from the earth, besides the
germs ol infusorial hie concerned in all
the processes of putrefaction and decay ;"
and there is, moreover, a large quantity ol
"uiattcr suspended in forms too minute to be
seen, but very quickly smelt, consisting
of watery vapor from the skin and lungs,
and "possessing a power of clinging to
clothing and porous walls and lodging in
crevices and corners. Prof. Nichols dis
covered that'in any room where a foul
odor was perceptible an amount of car
bonic acid gas several times as great as
proper sanitary conditions would allow
was l'mnd in company with it. This fact
will seem significant "to anyone who has
visiteij a close room which a mixed assem
blage" f people have occupied even a few
minutes. . The" smell, which-to persons
without scientific training is not exactly
definable, inuicates that a certain volume
of! oxygen has leen driven out or con
sumec, and it place supplied by an equal
volume of carbonic acid gas. It is true
that there is sUll some doubt .whether car-'
borne '.acid gas. is itself a poison destruc
tive to human life; but, whatever may1 be
its) positive qualities in : this regard, we
kriow"that it has the negative power of
suffocation. .
A Michigan physician, Dr. Kedzie, has
directed considerable, attention to the
qucsthm of maintaining an even tempera
ture while ventilating school-rooms. He
described scholars as sitting very often
with their nether extremities ' immersed
i a take of cold , air," while their heads
ami bodies were fairly comfortable. Cases
hard frequently come under his notice
where the temperature at the floor was
from eight to fifteen degrees lower than
that at the ciesk-levelj and this difference
had been ' fcnown toi. reach as much as
twenty-one degrees. The investigation
conducted by Prof. 'Nichols failed to con
firm Dr.- Kedzie's observations, though in
one out of the 111 rooms examined the
difference reached eleven and seven-tenths
degrees. The mean temperature at desk
level ought to be from sixty-five to sixty-
eight degrees Fahrenheit, and at the floor
t tesst sixty-one degrees. An even tem
perature at all times is another highly de
sirable thing, and this is the reason why
opening windows even if an appliance be
used to protect the children from draughts
is not , to be advised. , Any sudden
change from heat to cold should, be care
fully avoided, notwithstanding the opinion
of many well-meaning teachers to the
contrary. In one case which came under
Prof. Nichols' notice a teacher "aired"
her school-room in a way that sent down
the mercury in the thermometer fifteen
and three-tenths degrees.
None of -the contrivances for ventila
tion now used in the Boston schools seem
to have satisfied the inspector. The one
presenting, perhaps, the fewest objection
able features was employed at the Girls'
High School, in "Newton street. Each
room in this building has two ventilating
registers in its wall, one at the Moor and
the other at the ceiling, which opeu into
a wooden air-shaft. The registers have at
tached to thrir lower ends and sides within
the shaft short protecting hoods to direct
the current of air upward. The shafts
conduct the air to a large central octagonal
chamber in the cupola, and the chamber
is crowned by a louvre turret. Moreover,
the pupils iu this institution have an ad
Vantage over those of nrnny others in an
arrangement ' of studies which requires
them to pass from onerocjm to another at
frequent intervals. . ' r , . J

that the training of fire young is a serious
enough matter in all its aspects to call for

be effected in the sanitary arrangements
of the school-room. . .Then the, innctcents

Tho Georgia " nigger
plained. In 'Georgia they levy a poll-tax
of one dollar nominally for the support of
schools: They ako decree.: that no man
shall vote unless he pays his poll-tax.
They also punish illegal voting by im
prisonment at hard lalxr for a term of
years. In 1C0 a ltepublican Legislature
abolished the poll-tax for the very good
reason that, while it was nominally levied
lor the support oi schools, there were in
reality no schools lo sniinort. But when,
the Democrats c:imeinto power in 1871'
they revived the tax, and decreed that it
should be collected for three previous
years with ' accrued interest. Thus -was
intJituted a poll-tax of four dollars which
people were required to pay before votiug.
As many of the negroes were unable or
unwilling to pay this, they were practical
ly cUbi'rauchfsed. ' Taxes and iuterest have
accrued against many of these people to
the amount of $1D?1 an amount which
they are unable to pay. It is not denied
that this tax is levied for the sole purpose
of disfranchislng'the blac ks, and it is ad
mitted that the" whites "take good care
to put the full rigor of the law in operation
which puni-dies illegal voting by infpris
onnient at hard labor for from one t four
years."
The blacks don't like this sort f thing,
and are anxious to find out why it is so,
and whether there is no help for it. Ac
cordingly one of their number, who signs
himself "Joseph Morris, General Messen
ger," rssucd a call for a convention on the
10th iDSt.., stating its objects to be. the
designation of a proper person for Major
General of militiavand inrftirrc why they
should ." have to jay mote than one dollar
poll-tax and no public schools established
for the elevation of our race and our chil
dren." This last certainly would seem to
bo a proper subject of inquiry. But the
whites clioie to regard the calling of a
convention for. such purposes., ad rank'
sedition, and they at once got out their
shot guns and revolvers and prepared for
the worst. ....... j
Presently there Mas discovered what
purported "to be a savage letter written by
one Harris, " by order Gen. Morris and
from Gen. Rivers," commanding the
blacks to commence killing the whites on
the 20th of August, with axes and pitch
forks and fire-arms. The genuineness of
this epistle was denied. "Gen. Bivers," a
South Carolina General of militia, denied
all knowledge of it, and -his denial ap
pears to be accepted by the whites as
truthful. But they pretend to believe that
so far as. Harris and Morris are concerned
the document is genuine, and that a general
massacre of the whites was really planned
and intended.
Humors that the woods - were full of
' niggers" on mnrder bent began to fill
the air, the white military companies were
ordered under arms, the Governor was ap
plied to for troops, and arms and ammu
nition were freely distributed, and every
preparation was made for war. , Then be
gan the arrest of negroes.- A correspondent
of the Tinift states that " the jails in the
various counties are full td verflowinff
with negroes arrested upon warrants charg
' ing riot and insnTtctiori."-, ' It is a most
significant fact that in no case have these
bioodLfcirsty'rioter and insurgents resisted
L the execution- of legal process. All have
quietly submitted to arrest and are await
ing trial. The inference from this fact is
plain.- . The whites of Georgia have been
indulging in a god, old-fashioned scare,
or else they Jiave been trying, te provide
themselves with a convenient pretext lor
sliooting a few score of negroes and get
ting rid of the pestilent, -fellows,-who
are too inquisitive about their rights.
There appears to be some ground for this
last supposition - iii the statement of
the Ti nt correspondent that "the all Owtp,
uuiCMiitiiiMua- ui.gii temper unci impetuos
ity of the voungerjnx-a.of the State, vX most
11 pf. vhoui are embodied in military
conyiiinies; , i r are portentous! actors
of an ever-present danger." This looks
as though the " sedition"' was on the side
of the whites. 1 The strong probability is
that the blacks have not thought of any
such thing as a m:icacrrAjtind that,. if they
have organized at an, it has been for self
defense. This supposition is in accord with
what we all know of the character of the
blacks, and of their conduct before, during
and since the war.
Of one thing we may feel pretty sure;
If the whites of Georgia will respect the
rights of the negro, and give him an op
portunity to go to sc hool and be cured of

interest to many larmers. e often see
such fields that have remained unplowed
for a score or two of years, which is very
bad management, as it is folly for farmers
to thus neglect land which can be made to
produce good pasturage at a small ex
pense. Suppose one has a ten or twenty acre
field, high and dry, that has lain many
years uncultivated, and which affords but
very little pasturage, and that little of
very poor quality, what is to be done with
it Its owner is (we will suppose) a slov
enly farmer,, who learns nothing but what
is beaten into his head by sheer necessity,
lo avoid starving; and he is told that such
a field may be made, without any manure,
to produce a ton of good hay to the acre
for several years, and then pasturage for
hjs cows the entire season, at the rate of
two acres per cow. lie shakes his head
and begins to talk of the absurdity , of
" book-farming".and the nonsense in the
papers" about agriculture," At last lie is
persuaded to fence off an acre on which
to make the experiment, but grumbling a
good deal about " the expense," and the
"ruin" that would result if the whole
field were "treated so."
Well, spring come s, and we get the " old
man" to harness up his horses and hitch
on to his best plow and go to the altove
acre lot, where we tell him to go ahead
and plow it. Be commences by plowing
about three inches deep. " Hold up!" we
exclaim, "that kind of , plowing won't
do at all." He stares at us and says : " Do
you think I'm going lo kill my horses? I
know what you want. , You want me to
run the plow in up to the beam, and I
shall do no such thing."
We examine the subsoil and find that
the land should be plowed about ten inches
deep to produce the best crop of grass ; so
we argue the case with him, and finally
persuade him to run his plow that
depth, provided that we pay any
damage that his team may sustain, and
also all the expenses of seeding down
the land, should it prove a failure.
The land being plowed we sow it heavi-
lv to clover, with no other crop or grass
seed, and the result is a good "catch"
and a fair urop the first season, and a bet
ter one next year, which we plow under
when at its full growth, first running a
heavy roller over it; and the plowing tin
der of this crop, with its numerous and
deeply extended roots, is equal to a heavy
coat of stable-manure in fertilizing the
land. Larly the next spring we direct
the farmer to procure a half-bushel ot or
chard grass-seed, the same of blue-grass
and a like quantity of red-top, with lour
pounds of clover-seed x and tho whole is
sown upon the aforesaid acre of laud, after
plowing it ten inches deep and harrowing
it to a very smooth condition; then the
seed is brushed in carefully, and the re
sult is a splendid crop of grass, worth the
first season five times the expense of pro
ducing it. In like manner thousands of
old fields can be made very productive,
when farmers shall have learued how to
manage their lands in the best manner.
T. B. Miner, in X. 1 . (Jbteicer. ...
IJurjing-Beetlcs. .
There are many of the carrion-eaters
which are strong-toothed, and can eat al
most any animal substance that is less
hard than ltonc; but those of the buryki
beetles cannot do so, and must have their
food kept soft for them. For this purpose
there is nothing better than burying it in
the ground, where it cannot ue dried up
by the hot sunbeams or liquefied by the
wet, and absorbed into the ground Itefore
the grubs have lived their full larval life.
That wonderful substance, earth, is the
best preservative that can be found. The
body of an animal, if covered with only a
few inches of earth, decays but very slow
ly and preserves its softness and moisture
to the last. Of this property the beetles in
question are taught by their instinct to
avail themselves, and, inadequate as their
bodies may seem to be for such a task,
they manage to bury beneath the surface
of the ground any small animal that may
be lying dead upon it. This they do, not
by digging a hole and putting the
animal into it, but by scooping away
the earth from beneath it, and so
letting it gradually down. Even in our
own country, where land is. extensively
cultivated, and where in consequence
comparatively few carcasses are allowed
to lie unburied, the burjing-beetles are
very numerous, and their work is really
valuable. It is "chiefly owing to their la
bors that a dead bird, mouse, rat, or any
similar creature is so seldom seen. In
the. first place all wild creatures, on feel
ing the approach of death, seek out some
retired spot w herein to breathe Ihelr last ;
and, in the second place, their bodies are
mostly found and interred by theburj-ing-beetles
before they become offensive to
the nostrils. The sensitive organs of
these insects detect decaying animal mat
ter at wonderful distances, so that if a
dead bird be laid on the ground and left
undisturbed it is mostly beneath the sur
face in four or five days. When collect
ing these beetles for the purpose of dissect
ing them throughout their various stages
of existence, and watching the develop
ment of the various organs, I used to take
dead birds, mice, rats, or even pieces of
butchers' offal, and hide them away in
fields, taking care to place them on soft
ground, and always covering them with a
flat stone so ns to prevent theni 'rom being
seen. The stone was no impediment to
the bot tles, who are directed by their
olfactory and not their visual oigans, and
in the course of a single summer I thus
obuiined as many specimens as were
needed. Abroad, however, and especiall
in those vast tracts of land which have
never lieen subjected to man, the burying-
beetles are, as might DC supposed, larger,
more powerful anil more numerous than
they are with us, and perform good serv
ice in placing beneath the ground those
dead animals which would otherwise be
allowed to decay upon its surface. Thus
they are not only scavengers, but agricult
urists, for they enrich the soil by burying
beneath its surface those suttstances whicn
would only lie wasted if allowed to decay
altove grountl.-j-"i.vrs Abroad," by the
j:c. j. a. Wood.
Feeding and Care of Stock.
Ax animal well wintered is sometimes
said to be half summered, and at the lat
ter half of the winter season especially-
stock require their status to be well kept
up. . The great point is always to keep up
the thrift, "which does by no means imply
that they must be fed to the standard of
taking on lat. jno absolute tuics ior reeo
ing can he well given, as this necessity
depends on the kind of stock, the object
to be secured, the amount ot shelter ami
protection from the weather, and a variety
of other causes. Nothing requires more
constantly critical perception and experi
enced judgment, and the whole manage
ment should always be under the care and
control of some one competent person.
Ton much riven at a tune, whether of
Viy, meal or coarse fodder, impairs the
appetite and interferes with proper thrift,
besides being a waste of material.
Animals differ much in their capacity
for consumption, quite as much as people,
and what is a liberal supply for one will
be a very scanty leed tor others, lhey
also have their likes and dislikes for par
ticular kinds of food, and differ in their
powers of digestion. All these points
should be under the observation of a skill
ful feeder, and require no little tact and
judgment. In the winter season milk and
butter are ot more value man in summer,
and as without giving the cows good feed
and treatment the milk and " butter will
not be forthcoming, cows in milk have
their remedy for bad treatment by stopping
ofl the supplies.
Ihis is not the case with dry cows.
They are often fed on the roughest fodder,
doled out to them in the scantiest manner,
and we have seen them go from their win
ter quarters to the p&sture-fifld not much
else but skin and Inmes. They often do
not recover from this . till, summer is halt
over, and are sometimes then sold for be
ing poor milkers, when the fault is their
previous winter treatment. That mythical
disease called" liollow-horn" often ensues ;
the horns are bored because they are
called cold, turpentine is rubbed on the
head and along the spine, the poor animal,
already deficient in blood, is further re
duced "by being bled by the neighboring
cow-doctor, when all" the symptoms indi
cate nothing but a deficient vitality.
The same general rules apply to neat
cattle preparing for the butcher as to fresh
and dry cows ; aud supposing that a prop
er quantity of meal and roots are given
daily to each animal, proportioned to the
objec t to be attained, we have always
found three things to le great aids to
thrift, and promotive of sound health,
good appetite and condition, viz. : First,
that in every barnyard and in every
trough accessible at "all times to sheep,
horses and cattle, of all kinds, there slould
be a lump of rock salt for the animals to
lick at pleasure; second, that there should
be ample shedding and protection in every'
barnyard from cold, rainy and stormy
weather, while on the other hand close,
bad! v-ventilated stables should be avoided ;
third, that every cow and steer, besides
being kept well littered, should be daily
curried with the cattle-card. We have
never been able to see why this should be
attended to with the horse more than the
cow, and the reason assigned that there is
no time for it applies equally in both cases,
and the results will be found equally-to
pay for the labor. Cor. Practical Parmer.

Rag Carpets.
There are man y ways to make 1 hem . A
correspondent of the Cincinnati Times
gives an easy method :
If you wish to have a nice, smooth car
pet, use six knots of warp per yard, but if
you care more for durability less will do,
as the warp usually wears out first, and the
less you use the more it will bed down into
the rags, causing the wear to come more
upon them ; but I never use less than
tour and a half knots to the yard. .The
more warp we use the less rag3 it will
take. We all have our own peculiar no
tions and tastes. I never use blue nor yel
low, only 5n- hit-and-miss, as I think it
makes a carpet look cheap. The most
perplexing question (especially to the in
experienced) is, how shall i stripe my
carpet? As I have a very pretty one,
which has been pronounced by my friends
the prettiest rag carpet they ever saw, I
thought I would tell you how it is striped.
1 always make center stripes, because we
often wish to change ends with a breadth
when partly worn, and you cannot do so
with side stripes.
3Iy carpet is composed of a light and
dark fancy stripe. I will begin at the
center and give you a draft of each. The.
center of the light is what I call a candy
stripe. I tore tine white cloth into line
rags, then tore bright pink ' the same
width, twisted each, then' doubled and
twisted them together; there are four
threads of this, then three of salmon, aud
three of cochineal red, and two of redwood
red, then six of black and green threaded,
first a thread of one and Ihen the other.
Then seven of dark green and nine of
light, then four threads of calico, which
divides the light, fancy stripe from the
dark one the center otthis, the dark one,
is composed oT five threads of beauti ful
hit-or-miss then three of purple and two
of black, then three of nankeen color, and
nine of. light and five of dark brown, then
fourot black, which joins the calico. But
the wide stripes, like the green and brown,
must be measured, of course, as it would
not do to count thread in such wide ones.
One can loop rags much faster than they
can sew them, and some will do very' well
looped, but I always sew mine, and my
carpets are so smooth they sweep almost
as easy as a bare floor.
- a
Yard for Pigs.
I believe that one great reason why pigs
do not prove more profitable on a great
many farms is because they do not have
enough clean yard-room in which to run
and forage. Too often they are confined
to a small pen and a very small yard, both
of which are dirty. They have not even
a clean grass plot, or grass or other green
food to eat, but must constantly stay in a
close yard or pen. For large hogs this re
striction is injurious, but for little pigs it
is very much worse. Young animals want
liberty" to exercise their muscles and clean
grass on which to feed. A few fanners
let their pigs run out at will, but they are
apt to do agreat deal of mischief.
One of my neighbors, who raises a
great many pigs, used to let them run into
my garden, corn and potatoes, tread down
my" grass, and they did a great deal ot
damage to my crops; but he always had
nice pigs, and there was no evident reason
except that he allowed them full liberty
out of doors. Now, I do not approve of
having a drove of pigs running through
gardens and crops, but 1. think it would
pay even small farmers to tence in an
eighth or a fourth of an acre of-land ad
joining their hog-yard, and let Iheir pigs
run a part of the time every day in this
inclosure. When they get large enough
to root turf land they can be shut into
their ordinary yard, or else have the ten
dons of their" noses cut or rings put in to
keep them from doing mischief. But
whether it is used for large hogs or not it
will certainly pay farmers who raise many
pigs to furnish them such a yard. Cor.
Buffalo Lire tVxk Journal.
A tramp who was refused cider by
Josiah B. Corhin, of Cornwall, Conn., the
other day went to a fine tobacco bed and
rolled over in it, tearing up the plants;
whereupon Mr, Corbin set his dog upon
him. But the tramp whipped the dog and
then pummeled Mr. Corbin, who went to
its assistance; after which he fled, and
though Mr. Corbin pursued him several
miles with a musket was not overtaken.
It is believed that a good many more
people could increase the conscience fund
it they only would.
